Tips For Buying Pool Tables

A pool table will bring you and your friends and family hours of fun and memories. Quality pool tables can last for decades, but many people lack pool table knowledge and select inferior pool tables. Here are some important tips you should know before buying a pool table.




Room Size
There's no sense in buying a pool table that's too big for the room you're putting it in! Most pool tables range in size from seven to nine feet. When deciding on the appropriate size for your room, remember to add the length of the cue stick and about a foot extra for comfortable playing.

Craftsmanship
There are tons of pool table manufacturers out there, but unfortunately there are few high quality tables. Superior pool tables like ours are certified by the Billiard Congress of America and feature mild routing on the legs, cabinet, and rails to give your table a sleek, finished look. Get solid wood rails and legs on your pool table and it will stand up for decades. Choose from popular table colors like mahogany, honey, and oak. The slate used in the construction of your table is also important. Quality pool tables feature slate that is at least 1 inch thick and comes in three pieces to ensure level playing.
